Go Fighting Earls!!!!

Doesnt it seem like about 10 years ago that we played Charleston?

[ShockerFever]

I can't believe it's been nearly 20 years since Charleston last made the tournament. I would've never thought they were Illinois State-esque in that timeframe.

[SHOCKvalue]

Watching USD - SDSU in the Slummitt Championship, thinking Daum would work mighty fine as a grad transfer here for next season. If in some alternate universe that actually happens.

[ShockerFever]

I stand corrected. Charleston did it. Congrats Earl.

[ShockdaWorld]

Congrats Coach Grant!!

Somewhere, Andrew Goudelock celebrated CoC's win by shooting a three from the halfcourt line of the closest basketball court and making it.

[Jamar Howard 4 President]

Q2 win secured. RPI now 66.

[Cdizzle]

Charleston up to 66 in RPI. They should be able to ride that out this week and remain a Q2 game for WSU.

That sound you hear is the tightening sphincter of all bubble teams with every BYU bucket.

[AndShock]

Put me down for the belief that the WCC is a 2-bid league no matter what happens in this game.

[Cdizzle]

I agree with that sentiment. Not sure why SMC is such a lock to many.

[ShockerFever]

St. Mary's resume looks similar to 2017's Illinois State.

David Jenkins Jr prepped at Sunrise for a year. We missed one there. He is also good friends with Erik Stevenson, both being from the same area.

[Cdizzle]

Daum is really friggin good.

BYU turned into a pumpkin. SMC breathes a sigh of relief.

BYU turned into a pumpkin. SMC breathes a sigh of relief.

I still wouldn't feel safe if I were a Gaels fan. They didn't even try to schedule in the OOC. They have 2 Q1 wins, 1 over Gonzaga, and 1 over BYU, which wouldn't have been a Q1 win if they hadn't beat St. Mary's ironically. So they've beaten 1 tournament team, maybe 2 if NMSU wins the WAC.

All of their losses outside of Gonzaga and BYU are questionable at best.

I'm a pro-midmajor guy but it's becoming a regular pattern that St. Mary's seems to think they're above the idea of challenging themselves in the non-con.

[Cdizzle]

Having Q1 wins because other teams beat you in league is how the P5 reign.

Bring him in, keep Landry and Duff, and right back in the dance

[pinstripers]

yeah, I know

[Cdizzle]

SDSU wins their tourney and bid.

FGCU lost a couple more than I would have liked, and I have no idea what happened to ArkSt, but what a great non-con schedule.
